Episode notes
Blend Attention Work And Emotion
- Meditation trains attention quality while therapy addresses emotional relation to work, and combining them yields mechanistic leverage for productivity.
- Noticing how you relate to attention during work improves speed, motivation, and high-leverage focus.
What An Attention Co‑Pilot Session Looks Like
- Pranab runs 80-minute sessions that start with grounding, clear open loops, then engaged "body doubling" work with rubber-ducking and screen sharing.
- He sometimes extends sessions to three or four hours for deep sustained flow and emotional clearing.
Spaciousness Restores Metacognition
- Emotional backlog and nervous-system tension reduce metacognition and decision-making ability during work.
- Increasing spaciousness via meditation or emotional processing restores clarity and lets tasks flow.
